<wordnerd>'Toothing'
Somewhere on this site (I can't find it) we talked about the practice called 'dogging', which one site defines thus (white type):
What is dogging? Public sex, usually outdoors, that sometimes involves the voyeurs joining in. Though dogging started in the UK, it is spreading very quickly across the world.I just heard of the latest British variant, called '
toothing' (although the reports of its practice may have been a hoax). Has anyone heard of that?

Richard EnglishI've never heard of the practice - although "dogging" has become sufficiently well-known for it to appear in the mainstream press.

CaterwaullerSo toothing means the same thing as dogging? Oh my! Gives a new connotation to "tooth and nail".

KallehI did find it in the
Dictionary of Slang. Apparently it started as a hoax, but is in use now.

CaterwaullerOh - but this definition has another connotation with the use of a cell phone:
Noun. Sex between strangers, after having been arranged via the mobile phone (cell phone) using Bluetooth technology.
